Plan Ahead with an Individual Retirement Account

It is never too early to start saving for the future. An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) may offer tax savings and higher dividends as well as help you supplement a 401k or other employer sponsored plan. Set up payroll deductions or automatic payments for easy, consistent contributions to your IRA all year long. Progressions Credit Union has choices such as an IRA Savings or Certificate and all accounts are federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000.00. If you would like other options besides a Savings or Certificate account please see our Long Term Investing page for other investment choices.

” We have entrusted our financial dealings with Progressions Credit Union for over twenty five years. We opened our first accounts when Brian was a casual-hire letter carrier and maintained our relationship with PCU through his entire career. We are retired now and living in Chicxulub, Yucatan, Mexico, which comes with its’ own unique set of issues when dealing with everyday finances. Almost every employee at the Mission Ave. branch knows us by voice recognition, from Shannon and Dionne on the teller line, to Barb, Loretta and Hanna in various other parts of the credit union. They have all helped us with everything from wire transfers for a new car here in Mexico, to everyday inquiries about activity on our accounts. The people that PCU calls employees are more than that. They are the lifeblood of the institution and their efforts and exemplary customer service are what make PCU such an incredible place with which to entrust our money and other financial services”
